"Mayn Yiddishe Meydele" - "My Jewish Girl" is a popular Yiddish song composed by Sholom Secunda and Anshel Shora in 1922. Sholom Secunda was born in 1894 in the city of Aleksandria, Kherson Governorate part of the Russian Empire. "How lovely she is! Search the world over and you'll never discover another like her and with her charm" said the song. The Russians fell so much in love with the music that they wrote Russian version of the song, "The golden-domed Moscow", that became a favorite song of Russian post-revolutionary emigration. For as long as I remember, this was my father's favorite song to sing to me. I will always be his kleininke Yiddishe Meydele. (Little Jewish girl)

Bay andre natsyonen nit gefinen a meydl Mit a Yidishn kheyn

EnglishHow lovely she is! Search the world over and you'll never discover another like her and with her charm)

English Refrain from sound clip:

A beauty so fine and rare That's my Yiddishe girl With charms that you simply cannot compare That's my Yiddishe girl Hair golden and swinging free A smile open -- a sight you should see There is noone more dear to me Than my Yiddishe girl Search now, search forever The world over wherever But you won't find another Like my Yiddishe girl
